Abstract:

This book is the first on Cantonese that deals with the grammaticalization
phenomenon systematically. Focusing on a group of twelve directional
particles, this book tracks their grammaticalization pathways from
full-fledged directional verbs, to directional particles indicating meanings
relating to tense-aspect, modality, and quantification, in the post-verbal
position. Some of these particles have undergone further grammaticalization to
convey speaker’s subjective as well as intersubjective stances.

This book is also unique in its diachronic component. Examples in the book are
drawn from various sources including early Cantonese pedagogical texts,
Cantonese films, and contemporary Cantonese corpora, with data ranging from
the mid-nineteenth century to the present. This book will be a valuable
resource not only for all linguists interested in the development of
grammatical forms, but also for teachers and students in
conversation/discourse analysis, psychology, and anthropology interested in
deepening their understanding of the interaction between language structure
and use.
